Templet Good Luck Letter

1976-19 July - 2006


Commander Mario Roberto Santucho lives. Fell fighting. The Commander did not look at us from a star or amounted to no heaven. Is still here, among the multitudes who insist they insist.

Commander Mario Roberto Santucho not. Whether we realize it. You are here because they have never left. Generic image was embedded in the history of mankind. His absence is a breathtaking presence that is an absence. Vertiginous absence. Here, there, do not know where exactly, but felt he could not leave, who became flesh in the air.

Commander is intimately ours, and is also a lot of people who do not known and has never heard of him. Commander may also be secretly many people who do not understand but she wants and pursues and feels there is really something wrong, something is wrong.

Commander fell and he fell in Argentina and with it came the hunger and misery and thousands of working families and thousands of dreams undone. There is something called good fight. The commander fell fighting. Faced with the miserable poverty and prudent caution and cynicism cynical predictable predictable, here is a proof that the world could be a place to share the bread and the sun and art rather than share are calculated despair. There

inexplicable affection that is the right distance. Repeat until victory forever or just this or goodbye Commander. I prefer to think of anything else I say something. I do not know why. No matter

Is It Okay To Use Newspaper As Rizla

Another look at the protesters (and give the perret!)

downright subversive plan already in this post I will not write myself but I will only give the floor to a member of the PRT.

Those who are not already feel close to the ideological space generically called "Marxist left, wondering what is that cloud of small parties with no apparent difference playing for a living space rather small.

there are those who suspect that it is a multitude of rubber stamps busy people together - unemployed picketers several unhappy - with the sole purpose of making the same business that make all the bourgeois parties: to earn a place in Parliament, negotiate social plans, upload them to a bus and taken to a act, etc..

From here I have made the following observation: in the vast majority of cases is true. The system has few real enemies .

But there are exceptions. Not that the PRT is now just a mass party, but ended up having a very short time an important militant flow does no more than three decades. What I do mind is to highlight certain principles and perspectives that make a difference. Debating in

Dogs Forum (discussion forum where you can find the word militant TRP) I had thought to ask what position the party now face the enormous mass of unemployed as ratio today is in Argentina (and many other countries) much greater than in past decades, with a capitalism that destroys more jobs than it creates. I had the idea of \u200b\u200bconsidering whether it would be interesting that the party had an organization of unemployed, such as have almost all day (the PO, the MTJD, Barrios de Pie, FTV, etc..)

Of course my suggestion that the party was not emulating the business clientele who do these organizations, but try adding to the unemployed who want a dignified attitude, knowing that maintain dignity without having to go to the mouth is very difficult.

not always agree with the proposals of the forum, but the response I received seems a model of clarity, which is completely absent not only the vulgar demagoguery that glorifies structural poverty, but the complaint as mother harmful attitudes and naked Businesses that generate and insists that it is the workers who make up the historical subject of the Revolution.

This position has been approved almost no thinker, politician, philosopher, sociologist or what comes to mind of what we know today as "left" will not find anyone who does not insist that this is "old", "overcome" and blablabla. Watching the business done with the unemployed and the "multitudes" in general, it is easy to see why.

The answer is transcribed as is, with their capitals, bold and italics. The comments in brackets and the final are mine:

Companion: The subject is for long, if you go into detail. There

unemployed small organizations that do not remove their "contributions" to its participants and keep part rice that the state assigns. However, no plans and no longer receive state subsidies for "micro", also provided by the state in exchange and in return, sooner or later, will get on the buses that transport them to events organized by Kirchner, among others.

When a small organization refuses to such expertise, is smothered with plans to cut or suspension of the food that sustains dining, picnic or family groups. There are a few that do not appear to have oxygen and continue to the lung, so you will not see this mail named [see Note 1] . That's one side.

On the other hand, we must take into account the differences that exist when it comes to unemployed and picketers. One thing those originals were unemployed at the time of Menem Cutralcó as those who had lost her job and complaining about the missed work. Another thing is the vacant post, children of previous generations educated in patronage, exclusion and total lack of minimum values \u200b\u200bof parameters such as discipline to accomplish a task and sustain it over time, solidarity, search on their own out of exclusion, comfort, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc., etc.

To extinguish the fire of December 2001, Duhalde came to rolled her plans Heads, running such a "distribution" of plans by the intervention of a certain Hector Meton [see note 2] . It was then that he "fattened" organizations such as Polo Obrero, Castells, Teresa Vive (MST), MTL (connected to the PC), CCC, Teresa Rodríguez, FTV, Barrios de Pie, etc., Etc. whose leaders took to kill himself with the Ministry of Social Development plans, because they saw there the "hard" to "accumulate."
gorilla
The traditional phrase "the fix with a sweet and cider" became a reality with the happy plans, Duhalde, served to defuse the climate of instability social and leftist organizations, to build up a base "popular" they never had. That

2002 unrest was caused not only by the protesters, but by the petty bourgeoisie to whom the "yard" of December 2001 took to the streets to burn banks, sound pans and face up to bring down police five presidents. At that time, they would sing a slogan: "picket and pan, the struggle is one."

When banks began to return the little money, the petty bourgeoisie and forgot the slogan of the protesters and their leaders have forgotten the working class and the proletariat, cutting roads and bridges, loss making pay awards for being late, minute discounts salaries by impaired get to work, etc. A complex process in which the protesters of organizations "opposition" could transform the sympathy into hatred and contempt of the class.

plans, on the other hand, some are run by leftist leaders and other herbs and others are in the hands of mayors, legislators and officials of all kinds, with which it held captive to their "clients" desperate political hostages shift ownership of the plans. That is, each other, are miserable.

This policy, supported by everyone has fueled the attitude patronage of the unemployed , most of today never had any work in your life or you have it, although this phrase sounds more gorilla.

who writes you made the experience that you offer, without getting a dime in exchange for the effort to organize and having fallen into the trap of the Ministry of Development to order food for cafeterias and snack bars, as it was the only possibility to continue the organization, because if you do not have food or conseguis plans or grants, is anyone with any political is mounted on the organized, breaking all your work in exchange for a bag of food more than you got. The important thing for anyone who invades policy not but "how many moves" , how you rise to trains or buses or sums to any official act or "opponent."

At that time I'm telling you, I saw the corridors of the Ministry of the leaders of these organizations have named you sit with Sergio Berni, carapintada official, friend of the president who, since his "Critical Emergency Management" Barrios de Pie exalted, FTV and MTD Evita as official shock troops, giving positions in his ministry: Barrios de Pie leaders such as Bare Ceballos, ended one of the addresses of the ministry and others to put into Chancery and other government agencies, even in the Ministry of Interior in the SIDE ... Not counting the niceties of people who were in the National Bank, whose dome (of the labor the new minister) who is now in the Ministry of Economy, handing out "credits" to micro credits, which are cleared, quietly and covertly, the leaders that if the government were added, they could have three out of ten ... I mean, buying organizations "made." There is a minor detail.

The functional food is out of state. The functional is having hung state policy , have diverted the focus of the struggle towards welfarism, which fell trap (I'm not an exception) almost all, carry out, from any sector, the state's policy is that of government of the bourgeoisie. Because while everyone is busy getting food, plans, and filling out forms for grants for micro-enterprises, he loses the core of the fight, diverted their attention from the historical subject and engages all its militancy in the mad rush to get a sewing machine, a sobadoras to knead bread or a brick.

change policy essence and becomes the ability of pasilleo by the intricacies of the state: get legal, get the ID, complete all the requirements to get three handles and fifty to make bread in a villa. And in this bureaucratic process is distorted what militancy: thus was born the "managers" of poor men "Laid and type" who could make the official slips, gurus of "politics", the only ones able to sit at a official more or less "friend." In the corridors which drew sparks getting private cell phone having a staff that had the ring directly to "god plan", the "god food" or "God grant" ...

So, I march to Castells ( MIJD) Pitrola (PO), D'Elia (FTV), Chiquito Arduini (CCC), lost (PJ-ex Side ...), Ceballos (Barrios de Pie) when I was nobody, Persian (MTD Evita), just to name a few, negotiating with the government in accordance with "many moving." The balance of power was directly proportional to the amount of plans and tons of food in bulk and get getting ... Moreover, they all know each other, they greet happily share their cell phones in the hallways and were together yesterday and today faced, but do not worry: you can return to "agree" join at any time.

And last but not least, none of them laburar. Bah, managers actually work. Among them soban back and justify themselves by saying they are militants "rented". That is a vile lie. Are vague to them is more convenient to go to a ministry official stockings sucking laburo sought where they have to sign, produce, deal with an employer and organize the working class.

The unemployed, for his despair, accept any terms, are not like the patterns, if not laburos, give you a kick in the pants and they send you to the moon ... The unemployed will accept any flea, provided when warranted by their meal plans and .

For this reason I do not share your view that unemployed shifted from quantity to quality, because it is not. You say you are no longer a marginal sector and I think you're wrong: never so much as now the unemployed are marginalized, excluded from everything, just have not ever done work experience, of having to adjust their schedules to a compromise, organize without "enlightened" that pave the way toward food or plans. Unfortunately.

In two respects, the unemployed are moved in bulk: rice, silver, plates, plans, subsidies, land or else you can think on the one hand and, on the other, much loved alienated human, malnourished, with bad health and without access to education. Everything is quantity and poor quality. Are true exceptions which may fall into the "quality" revolutionary ... I know only two partners with these qualities. Only two among thousands. The rest are petty bourgeois leaders stuck to the last minute, vacated by adoption, high school and even college, but not for them, less lumpen [lumpen: German word used by Marx to define the general marginal] .

That is the experience that I know and which left me powerless to change any of its terms. Absolutely powerless.

Do not you ever wonder where they get money to pay for buses all these organizations to go to an event, even when they "opposition"? Each micro leaves, approximately, for a short trip, about 200 pesos. And every time you make a move the protesters get tired of having buses lined up on the 9th of July. Hundreds and hundreds of buses ... Where do they get so much dough to "move" people? How do you think that in this framework described, one can organize the unemployed without bags of rice?

if you do, you have to "play" with someone or someone ... If you do not have bags of rice is anybody else, call it "revolutionary" or mayor, ruling or opposition, with a truck full of grass and polenta and promises plans for those who have nothing and people will turn their backs, because not interested in politics, interested in eating ... So simple and easy as that. But eating without laburar. Because when you want to organize them with productive enterprises, about laburo, missing or get drunk or stay with the machines and sell them or go with someone to get them out to "walk" to an act of some hours, with which compliance by benefits (plans, bags, plates, braces for houses, etc..). It is not pleasant to describe these things because they sound bad, but it's true, although it is unfortunate.

I know this from the inside and tried to change it, too, from within. But it was not possible for the framework described. The exceptions I know, that managers in general are small, dealing, something, however minimal, to someone. For example, there are some resources to get the CTA, in turn, is negotiating with the government. But when the CTA "mobilized" These small organizations have the microphone in the door ... is a small price compared to others.

Personally I do not agree with the Workers Revolutionary Party, which has very clear on this issue, is dedicated to changing the axis of the fight and with that put into question who the real historical revolutionary subject. Do not think that's a given you want to put into practice, when the Only party which, against all odds, with plenty of criticism from the left and even other "tantrums" (which are different from those described in this post because they dispense food, plans and state subsidies and make these resources policy in this forum have confessed that "nobody moves "..., 150 pesos which I have made it clear that they also manage plans ...) has maintained its policy built around the unique historical subject capable of changing relationships production, precisely because it produces: the proletariat in general and the working class in particular. It is a bold proposal, if you will, within a framework in which everyone, without exception, have fallen into the trap state.

I also disagree with the militants rented, although this issue is another matter and subject of another discussion.

Revolutionary politics must again become a vocation, a lifestyle choice, an example of life where attitudes intersect all worthy of those who maintain and put into practice . Work is part of the construction of that dignity. Failure to obtain state privileges, too. Do not speculate with hunger or live off the hungry, too. Promote the revolution is to be consistent between what is said and what is done .

From a materialist perspective, no idle drives him a hair patterns, the bourgeoisie, which only bothered when they take their cars into the street and cross a picket line with them from crossing a traffic light. Now, if you stop a factory workers, as happened with the workers of SMATA few months ago, the bourgeoisie body shakes (not to say anything and be rude) and runs to raise salaries before it rots all ... In a few days we may see more mess: At this point remove the metal are more collaborative because they intend to increase the acceptance by the government ...

conclusion: when you move the unemployed there is a fact police but when it mobilizes the working class is a political fact. Who, then, the historical subject of the revolution, worth all the effort of a revolutionary party? Now, if the self-styled "revolutionary" are not seeking power, the issue is different: you can devote to the unemployed without the slightest self-criticism and without a pulse shake them.

I heard, for example, that a few months ago, holding PO Altamira they were "upgrading" to Marx, incidentally, forceps to put the unemployed because they are more and go out more often. For Altamira is a matter of basic number and no material, no matter the means of production, but the usual "how many moves." Altamira

But not alone: \u200b\u200bI have participated in mass meetings of the CTA in that which adherents of a fundamentalist sect, its leaders tried (and to "vote"!) Convince the unemployed that are the working class "empty" and I have seen acts of real dignity of many unemployed requestioned and saying, "No, I'm an outsider because I have no job and I'm ashamed to go out when I go to collect the plan." The "leaders" of the CTA covered themselves with petty bourgeois speeches that shame which made me sad mourn so embarrassed by that partner, and once, deafness aware of the leader who was in front.

I think I stretched too much, but I thought the issue warranted the extension, given that most keep these matters secret accomplices, because they make "political" from the same place, ie the resources of the state ribs and the excluded. That attitude miserable

not expect from a party that has a spotless history in terms of principles, beyond the self-criticisms that fail precisely because the game having never made the bourgeoisie. The PRT expropriated for the poor, expropriated them to them. No I would like to begin now to clean up his elbow as he wrote by hand and sealed with his blood. It will be for this, perhaps, that I am very disgusted to see the name of Santucho swinging without shame. But this is my humble opinion.

a brotherly hug.


Note 1: Among the very few organizations of the unemployed that the companion mentioned as trying to maintain a dignified attitude is the now sadly fragmented Anibal Veron, which belonged to fellow Dario Santillan and Maximiliano Kosteki, killed - how strange - by the police.

Note 2: All data, names, etc. paid by of the companion, because of my ignorance I am not able or corroborate or refute.

Larguita, right? But instructive.

Goodnight.

Record Software For Yamaha Psr

The



Belatedly, but to commemorate the 1st. May do it right.

For the destination of the class, out of power all promises are eternal, beautiful words, more or less brutal forms of sinking into poverty. Are asked to be patient today who now have nothing to put in their mouths.

And they will continue calling for patience. Tons of patience. They offer anything in return: TV, suboptimal, crack, whatever.

Everyone knows that beyond the predictable criticism (uuuhhhh. .. this guy ...) so you can expect a working family or excluded is exactly nothing. I know, we all know.

But as the class is not the power will never willingly, then you have to give something else. We must give hope. That we have ... if u have!

Out of power, for deep in the earth, all is illusion.

to the doers of the deed, the declared enemy number one on 24 March of '76, who threw them all over the repressive apparatus: Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores. Good

afternoon.

Region Help Sony Sr200p

Comba March 24

The recovery of historical memory is important, but it would be interesting to remember that it is in the measure by which to understand the present reality. So the Power is determined to erase it, distort it and twist it, the more the closer it is. The power of the media devoted itself to distort the present, which is also history.

After a while, say 30 years, we will regain power scraps of memory about events conveniently away from today, we will establish certain observances, dropped into the jail some of his torturers more disgusting (in the background, the ruling classes do not stop looking with some disgust at a Turkish Julian, more so often see in the mirror), and admit that yes, there was something that went wrong, apportion blame between "all Argentines "and try to reconcile with electric shocks, or with the hand that grasped, or head who ran, or the private security company, or that politician as dapper proposed" growth. "

Meanwhile, those who have still not having less and less, so that those who are still taking more and more.

Let a parenthetical criticism usual "reduction, simplification can not you see that reality is more complex?" Go out and see the kid who - with eminent practicality - you sleep on the street just stuck to the vent facing the kitchen of the pizzeria: heating. And of course, the reality is very complex, full of subtle details. What they forget the lovers of the details is the difference between - precisely - the details and the urgent, dramatic, and the main thing. The details and complexity is an excellent refuge for those who want to stop your damn conscience. Let's shift gears.

iron to the militant who - honestly - no one is in position to demand anything and not me, yield to the charms of the symbolic and declares that "there is an enemy in the Casa Rosada." As if it really matters who's in the famous Casa Rosada. As if that were a cause rather than what it is: a mere consequence.

Hand in hand with good times and a government that does more than I ever dreamed, Argentina has another primaverita. Oscillate between spring and hells surprising end. Nobody dares to make predictions because we know deep down that our country is not ours. Incredulous and naive at the same time, we pull.

March 24 saying "never again" in the moment in which the hairs are smaller in Las Heras and torture in police stations. At the same time that burst to beat a kid in a villa.

declare March 24 - the proud and long-suffering people of the middle class - our commitment to the democratic order, when we know that there is an order to us, another order for the Villa 31, and another order for owners of the handle. Notions such as "country" and "law" are fetishes for the middle classes who cling to them desperately seeking normality. The Homeless and the owners of all know very well that is a lie that can and should do without.

March 24 shall be observed. And that's fine. Who wants to go to the disco to go, total ... being an idiot is both an irrevocable choice and destiny. And after all where do you go? The disk mass, the committee, the assembly of the neighborhood, the club or the court. To see the Bersuit or U2 or Pastor Giménez. Go to belong somewhere and say: "I am this."

But on March 24 is there to teach us that we are nothing compared to power, we treat our children have a better heating of the boy sleeping next to the pizzeria, which we desperately loopholes to catch the handle to maneuver within the range that leave us less and less.

One day the boy who sleeps next to the pizzeria will raise his fist. That fist hard not to convene or to church, or assembly, or the committee or the club, or the court.

That fist is the only one who can crush the March 24, to burst once and forever.

Olympus E 500 Objectives

The World Social Forum and economic paralysis



I received (thanks Child Baroque, Lejaim) this interesting note Le Monde (le Diplo for cheats) on the World Social Forum .

I - Presentation

For those who do not want to read the entire note: speaking of the emerging conflict that begins to speak in FSM about whether or not to generate some form of organization, or at least thematic agenda therein. The exponential growth of FSM is turning into a mass of many debates, but this difficult decision. The note states that there are basically two positions:

a) To those who argue the need for some kind of organization or agenda whose contents are based on some form of internal democracy, arguing that the FSM risks becoming a simple meeting folk or best a venue to express good wishes, peace and love for everyone.

b) those who detest this, arguing that the experiences of "democratic centralism" in the Communist bloc make it clear that any form of attack on the horizontal organization, diversity and multiplicity that enrich the FSM . It warns against the danger of "takeover" of the FSM by any political organization "down line".

II - The real problem, according to gil view of writing this

Consider the general tone: I think this is a debate that is constantly repeated. I think they are part of ideological error of assuming that a match making clear for the proletariat or socialism will inevitably lead to bureaucracy, authoritarianism, down the line or "takeover."

If by "takeover" means that the FSM (or any organization) to adopt a clear policy line, then I would say: y. .. yes, once it takes a clear position on a problem, it also takes a political line that "cup" the organization. This kind of "takeover" is not terrible, should not so, it is simply to say: "go there" or "we're going somewhere" , which seems to cause more than a horror.

Indeed, what is ignored is that the FSM already somehow "cornered." What in the article is expressed as a fear is rather a sad reality: the FSM already a harmless folk find mired in inaction.

III - The trends and their origins or what the hell we are discussing?

is perfectly understandable that a political organization anyone has trends, but the political trends not come from an egg. Expressed interest trends, pressures and bids from ... Whence may come? A political organization is embedded in society, and can not but express conflicting interests in the same: the competing societal interests, this can not be saved or the most revolutionary party.

public opinion, media, the commitments of social actors can not fail to express a political organization of any kind, or the FSM any political organization or live in isolation from social conflict in which they are embedded, their internal bids represent specific interests, no political idea is neutral.

Now if all sides cancel each other, if we wish - under the pretext of a horizontal impossible in any organization (as the sense of the word "organization" implies diversity of tasks) - the FSM failure to take any course of action for fear of "takeover" then yes it is taking an objective one: do nothing, of being just a meeting folk.

is applying the most basic common sense: if there are any organization trends, and if these trends expressed irreconcilable positions, and foundational issues that touch (what system we want, what interests stand for and what we fight) what to do to contain them within the organization? It is best to simply vote and decide what to do. The bases have to send.

The alternative of not taking a decision (to avoid "takeover") is actually make a decision: stay there. But "getting there" is not free nor neutral if it is an organization that aims to change something.

IV - Management & Control Solutions Democratic or
The Bright
Dialectics address / democratic control exists in any organization that claims to such. Clear that democratic control can fail (all may fail), but what direction will have democratic control? If the organization does not decide where to go, then we saved the terrible problem of control ... Brilliant solution, horizontal fantastic!

And when I say "leadership" I do not mean so and so in power, I mean to decide the basics: what do we do? What is our position on social conflict? What we propose? The address does not have another job to meet those targets decided democratically.

V - Do not propose anything = not have problems

is very difficult today to understand what the FSM proposed on many issues, but inevitably there are trends: the neglected classes demanding a more radical position against capitalism and / or some form of socialism, and representatives co-opted by the bourgeois discourse famous I'd rather focus on gender policy , ecology, multiculturalism, quaint handicrafts ... In short: the folk who like the middle classes (which is not too urgent problems) and not disturb the great capital.

So behind the organizational debate what lies (increasingly less) is the ideological debate. As soon as someone in the FSM says "Well, hey, what if we decide what we do? I do not know ... we discuss, we vote, but comprometámosnos to go somewhere, "then skip posmerío to say " Horror! Stalinism is coming! Better follow each in any and let things be decided ... That's never democracy and horizontality! "

Result: leftist organizations are fading profile and ending with variants of the type " more of the same ". Then we will complain bitterly thought.

VI - Philosophy of inaction

philosophical variants concomitant with this (no) and political action are old acquaintances of postmodernism and lead to the absurd extreme, but it fit perfectly: "The reality is unknowable / undecidable / construction of discourse" .

The "diversity" is understood as a brutal homogenization in which nothing can be decided and the most elementary common sense is called into question, not to further any analysis but simply to avoid it. The lower activity aimed at ensuring scientific or knowledge to man are denounced as "authoritarianism" and "The Enlightenment project that led us to Auschwitz" . General yawns.

VII - The awful Centralism Democratic

The ideological error of democratic centralism automatically identify Stalinism. It is an error induced by the bourgeoisie ideological pressure exerted on the move constantly from left to drive them into paralysis (with great success so far). Stalinism is not the result of democratic centralism, but the triumph of socialism in a backward and isolated state. The dreaded democratic centralism was just the first victim of Stalinism.

Democratic centralism is nothing more than democracy applied to the working class party. Even the liberal democracy involves elementary democratic centralism: a government is voted then all abide, and added control mechanisms, but no one abhors the address as if it were a horror. Is not fully explain why the existence of an address is accepted as a blessing when the bourgeoisie is the ruling class and the devil when it comes to a leftist organization.

The difference is simply the class character of the party or organization is Who? What interest advocates?. When deciding the position it takes against capitalism, against which system you want, then you start talking about class interests, and the bid of that interest is what is now stirred at organizations like the FSM under the cuckoo horror to make decisions.

VIII - said class interests?

Yes, I know: wishful thinking. Tinelli continue to see better and hopefully get things fixed. Alone.
